I recently started reading into clairsentience. For those of you who don't know, clairsentience is the ability to "feel" things. Energies, you could say. I started seeing a counselor almost a month ago. The last time I was there, I asked him if he ever felt energy. He said I should look into it more because I could use it for good. So here I am.

This is all going to sound ridiculous, but there's a house that no one's lived in for many years. It was built in the 1880s. I have strong connections with it. Sometimes I drive to the house just to see it, and it's an hour away from where I live. I started having dreams about it, about one every month. The first two were almost the same. It took place in the early 1900s, and there was this lady walking around the house. She was giving a "tour" of it to an old lady and some kids. She pointed to one of the windows upstairs and said, "that's where he slept." I don't know who "he" is. Well one day I went to the house, and I decided to touch it (I had never touched it before). I went up to one of the columns and put my hand on it. The feeling I got was so powerful and overwhelming, that I pulled my hand away. I then got the feeling that I just wanted to leave. I was scared, not really because the feeling I got was frightening, but more because of how strong it was. I can still feel it. When I really start thinking about it, I can feel it all over again. I get kind of lightheaded and it's almost hard to breathe. Has anyone ever had something like this happen to them? I've been reading about chakra's as well and how the 2nd chakra is used in clairsentience. There's also been many times where I've said something to someone...like not to do something because I had a feeling about it. They never listen and something bad almost always happens. It's frustrating! Anyone know how to develop this ability farther?

Hi, Dani,

I once was traveling through Petaluma, CA and found myself struck by nausea the likes of which I'd never experienced. I'm not predisposed to motion sickness either, and my first impulse upon feeling so ill was to lift my head up and look to the north. What I found in my direct line of sight was a small business promoting a psychic. I don't have a very high opinion of psychics for hire, but I may have been experiencing empathy since many psychics I've met have tortured childhoods.

There's been one other experience where I felt suddenly ill, and that was accompanied by a strong suspicion that the woman I later began dating had been violently raped. This was later confirmed.

As for developing the ability: What you refer to as clairsentience sounds very much like telepathy and/or empathy, and meditation is one way of clearing the head of Earthly pollution, if you will, to render it more perceivable.

Dear Dani,
maybe you have a past life connection with this house and that is why you are having these weird happening with the house.
About your chakras the second chakra is your third eye so if you do some meditation and start to clear some of the psychic blocks which we all have.
That will clear your third eye so you can open up your clairsentice.
Start by mediating on your chakras each has a colour, a gemstone, essential oil, location, associated body part and an effect when its not cleaned and cleared.
If you have heard of Doreen Virtue.Phd she has a great chakra cleansing audio cd that is very helpful.
I hope that might get you started.
kind regards
Shadowchaser

Could I say skeptical?

Could I ask for a question conducive to further discussion?

Ask away im interested in what you have to say.
Im all ears.

Hi, Shadowchaser,

I was hoping "Who?" would bring more to the table than a one word summary of his mindset. Without further input by Dani or a skeptic providing open-ended queries, this thread is headed for the archives. Not that it isn't interesting on many levels, but there are various threads covering meditation, chakras, past lives, empathy, telepathy, and energy residue.

Hi FrankBlunt
By the sounds of it Dani was looking for ideas of whats going on with her and i thought thats what i was giving.
Im not making any claims or stuff but i readings and i never have called myself psychic by my friends do and i have not come from a bad childhood.
In fact it has been fantastic, but i have been involved with research of the paranormal since i was 13 im now 37 and in that time i have opened myself up to possibilitys.
It sounds like you are very intuitive about things to.
Not every person claiming to be psychic is.

To the OP, I'd have to say that your reactions to the house are inconclusive as yet. From what you say, you are still learning this expression of your senses, and it can be kind of scary at first when we are confronted by experiences we may never have thought of before, or else even did not believe were real.

I'd talk this over with your counsellor, and if you are seeking some more understanding of this sense, perhaps seeking out a space you know is clean and sacred to you would be a nice test of it and useful. This might be a church, or shrine or creek or special place you find peaceful. See what you feel about that and also see what else your counsellor may have to say about it. Sort of compare the feelings, to help you perhaps sort out what you really are feeling under it all about the house.

If you are new to this, it would also be good for you to read up on shielding and cleansing and self protection psychically. Those are good to know early... I was alone with this and nobody told me and I got into trouble before I learned about such things. Avoid my mistake and make one I haven't yet and share, so we can both learn *grins*

To the other posters, what do you think of the idea that when a person starts experiencing the opening of one chakra/sense, it may be useful for them to work with the others as well and strive for a more balanced (albeit slower) total shift? Or am I not making sense in what I am suggesting for the purpose of keeping this interesting thread alive?

Balance is good. But, if you were to develop this claresentience's, how would you go about expanding it, or opening the pathways to use/practice other gifts..?

Hi Sunni .

Myself, I'd go with kabbalah to do that, which is outside the scope of UM, I think. I don't mean the New Age version of it, either.

Otherwise, I'd expand as I learned more on my own about these feelings of clairsentience, and follow as it naturally unfolded. I think each of us has a unique road, so advice is necessarily not exact or in concrete, unsurprisingly. What works great for one doesn't for another.

JMO,
NS

does kabbalah actually help with that? cuz i have a bajillion questions about my abilities and a religious organization that would help me strengthen that would be wonderful. i had to leave the wiccans. they called me a immature bratty meth head cuz i learned how to do magick without tools and they didnt. :\ and i also learned how to get what i want from specific people just by thinking about it for 20 minutes. mind control, blah...... its not like i made them kill somebody. :\ anyway. jealousy is a horrible thing. especially since it keeps me from learning. but yeah. kabbalah? someone told me the unity church in my city would help me. but who knows. im tired of getting the "you are the best teacher for yourself" answer from wiccans which basically translates to "i dont know, but i dont want to expose my ignorance in public" not saying all wiccans are like that. i consider myself one. but ya know. MOST are.

It did for me or I wouldn't have suggested it. Try googling "Kabbalah" "Kabalah" and "Cabala" and reading some first to find out if it seems to speak to you and go from there. Some sites are strange, some are useful, and it varies for people, so, check it out and see what you think.

Hello again, Shadowchaser,

I never was taking issue with your advice. It seemed very sound to me. While I haven't dealt with chakras, I don't discount them given their associations with the endocrine system.



A number of alleged psychics who post here have abominable grammar and sentence structure, but I do my best to look past this. Intuition is a plus, but logic and professionalism are often in short supply.

I'm always open to dialogues with responsible skeptics, and you're welcome to PM me with any questions that deviate from threads in which I've posted.

I thought you'd appreciate something that happened to me this morning.

I usually keep the ringer of my phone off at night, as was the case last night. When I woke up, I picked up the phone with the goal of calling an elderly family member who I help with landscaping. There was no ring tone, and that same family member began calling my name and asking if I was okay. I'd been sitting there with the phone up to my ear for a few seconds without responding to her because I was shocked by the timing.

Finally, there have been some odd energy related occurrences at her house. For example, the lid of the sugar container flies off occasionally without anyone bumping the counter. I witnessed this once, and it didn't fall; it hopped. My theory is that she is focusing a great deal of energy on it do to her daughter-in-law placing dampened spoons back in the container. This was something she complained of frequently. My theory doesn't even begin to explain how the energy manages to manipulate the physical world, but most would be at a loss with that subject. I considered the possibility of gases accumulating and forcing the lid free, but the spoon wedged between the lid and cup allows for a gradual release without pressure build-up.
